BREAKING:

CDC rescinds “flared base” recommendation, saying users should be able to go to the ER to have objects removed if they wish.

“This administration will not be cowed by woke rhetoric about what is and isn’t safe to insert in your anus.”

This little Christmas ghost romance is half off, if you have fifty cents and a burning urge to read something a little different from what I normally write (no jokes in this story, only hauntings and longings)

Got a reply-guy reply that had no bearing on my life whatsoever. His profile was just a list of all the kinds of people he will block, and be warned and go away because he’s a misanthrope. So I blocked him. 🤣

On January 1, Illinois begins to regulate employer use of AI, making it a civil rights violation to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, or other employment terms and requiring notice of AI use. #AIBillofRights

Of course she’s in labor in space. 😂 I’m glad they at least remembered she needed to take her pants off.

I bet Galactus has really gnarly indigestion. Are all those planets giving him enough fiber?

Is the Silver Surfer soft, like a squishy person in a silver full-body condom, or hard throughout like an Emmy award? Would she give good hugs?

Why is someone who is eleventy months pregnant going to space? How is that a good idea? Franklin’s going to crawl out of her vagina and right into zero gravity.

I feel like H.E.R.B.I.E is somehow disrespectful to Rosie from The Jetsons.

Why are they always so bad at making Mr. Fantastic stretchy?

Just started Fantastic 4 and I can’t enjoy Pedro Pascal’s arms in this white tank top because Reed is holding Sue’s pee stick. Ew.

Maybe I should worry less about coughing on this imminent call and more about the fact that I am stoned off my gourd. Specifically karela if we’re picking.

Just realized that I’m running out of spoons while I’m running out of spoons.

My parental unit’s going to harangue me if I cough while on the phone with her. So I’m trying to make it stop.

Not me tilting a bottle of Peychaud’s bitters into my mouth and dousing my uvula like it’s been hit by a spritz of Chloraseptic.

I used to buy these packs. Oh my god. Flashback!

Couldn't I wait and have feelings about being a lazy jobless leech *after* I finished writing Frostburn? I do not need self-esteem issues when some smarmy assholes need to die and my trio of protags need their HEA.

This is like Mr Rogers picking up Mjolnir

Why is a Flat POC the Go-To Order for Interracial Romance? When it comes to IR romance and screen adaptations, who gets to be heated, offensive, *and* nice? Not us!

Looks like I've got at least one more newsletter in me before 2025 closes out! This one's inspired by the gay hockey show and the Discourse and has me rambling about how characters of color are hamstrung by the white default.

I am *way* funnier than him. You’re right, that is a heartening thought.

I love making people laugh. Especially when they can’t see me. Gee, I wonder where I’ve been honing that skill?

I was at Trader Joe’s and I think their dairy aisle is up against their stock room. I could hear the workers as I grabbed yogurt. Someone was like “See you later, Jeff! Have a good weekend!” I couldn’t help myself. I immediately chimed in “Bye, Jeff!” And I earned a laugh in response. Day. Made.

Want a Xmas romance? This is not that. RIDING NICK is a very silly and slightly sexy 99-cent short story in which a burned-out, 40-something, Bengali atheist gets her bells jingled by Santa Claus.

Oh no! Ow!

My mug was sitting right there. With the sweetener and the spoon. And I somehow forgot it completely and went out.

So, I was supposed to wake myself up with three cups of coffee this morning. Guess who got home 45 minutes ago to find the coffeemaker still on and that third cup all sludgy and evaporated in the decanter? 😭

hourslong community resistance against ice still going on in elgin, illinois—a western suburb with a large latine population and a frequent target for ice/cbp.

state rep. karina villa is on scene, per live feed, and used a bullhorn to call out to the person agents are ostensibly looking for.

Without fail for years now! lol. I’m so glad I’m not alone!

Stepped outside my building and thought to myself, “It’s not that bad out, but the back of my neck is cold.” Hey, Suleikha, did you know there was an item invented for that exact problem? And you own three of them?
